Most likely the files have UNIX line endings (LF instead of CRLF). If you
turn on the git option "core.autocrlf" for the repo on your clients, then
git should convert convert line termination of text files automatically.

I am not enough of a git illuminatus to immediately know what that means.

that vcsrepo does not handle appropriately.

Supposing that none of the git experts around here jumps in with special
insight on your problem, it would be helpful to identify exactly what steps
are required to elicit the error.
